[Talk 1]
Title: Theoretical study on microscopic mechanism for amyloid β (1-42) fibril dissolution by ATP
Speaker: Dr. Ikuo Kurisaki/ Graduate School of System Informatics, Kobe University
Very recently, it is pointed out that ATP plays a role not only as an energy currency but a biological “hydrotrope” to dissolve proteins inside cells, which is a current hot topic in biology. Dr. Kurisaki will deliver a lecture on theoretical study on microscopic mechanism for amyloid β fibril dissolution by ATP.
[Talk 2]
Title: What can we tell about cells using Raman scattering?
Speaker: Dr. Hideaki Fujita/ RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR)
Whenever a new biotechnology emerges, the tip of physics is often underlying behind it. Dr. Fujita in RIKEN will give a talk about recent advances on Raman imaging technology to unveil the microscopic world inside the cell.
[Talk 3]
Title: Temperature sensing by non-temperature sensors in cells
Speaker: Dr. Madoka Suzuki/ Institute for Protein Research, Osaka University
Temperature is a fundamental important physical parameter in our environment. Dr. Suzuki in Osaka University will give a lecture on how a live cell senses temperature from different viewpoints from traditional temperature sensing proteins.
